Importing GEDCOM

Afternoon,

Has anyone else had problems importing a GEDCOM over the last few days?

I started to import mine last evening about 6.00pm and it still saying it's awaiting an import.

It doesn't normally take this long does it?

Thank you for your replies.

Don't know why I am surprised it is taking so long with all the other problems which seem to be around at the moment.

I wonder who will get theirs first?

I'm trying to export mine and nothing's happening :o( I really need it to upload to my Mother in Law's lappy before tomorrow. Looks like I will have to upload an old one then update the rest manually - bummer!

When you export GR send you an email with a gedcom.
Check you spam folder in case it has gone there - a few have found this.

With the current server problem, though is you haven't had it in 48 hours then report it ti GR as a problem. Same goes for importing, if you file is still reporting as loading after 2 days.

Yes, mine took a week to import (it usually only takes 5 minutes). I contacted GR Support after two days, and they finally fixed it yesterday.
